What do a Springbok Rugby player and a local music star have in common? Both graduated recently from the University of the Western Cape.
Former Springbok and current Cape Town Deputy Mayor Eddie Andrews graduated with his Bachelor of Administration Honours and Voice SA Season 2 winner and acclaimed singer-songwriter Craig Lucas graduated with his Masters in Development Studies.
For Lucas, this was just another milestone in the academic journey that he wished to pursue. Lucas’s thesis is The Capability to Aspire: A Case Study of Youth Aspirations in Bonteheuwel.
While celebrating his Masters, Lucas said he is keen to start his PhD as soon as possible.
Andrews’s graduation was the culmination of an academic journey that started on the Cape Flats. He now wants to inspire others from historically disadvantaged backgrounds to study further.
Andrews is also considering returning to UWC to continue his studies. The former rugby player wants to pursue a Master’s Degree.
